Participating restaurants will offer three courses for $25 during the promotion, which actually lasts more than a week. It runs from Feb. 15 (a Tuesday) to Feb. 26 (a Saturday).

This is the seventh year for the promotion coordinated by the Downtown Committee of Syracuse. And the 22 restaurants beats the record set last year, when 19 restaurants participated.

Downtown Dining Week is intended to boost business for downtown eateries during what otherwise might a slow winter season. It also overlaps a bit with another downtown promotion, Syracuse Winterfest (Feb. 17 to Feb. 27).
